All user reviews for the Aria 1802T

1802T manufactured in Japan between 1971 and 75 (the model 1803T is identical with 3 micro)
team of two microphones single diamond (big sound, rounder than the layer over the medium lp). A beautiful vintage guitar for rock and blues.

UTILIZATION

The handle is precursor of modern guitar with a rounded tapered from a Fender Stratocaster. I find it very enjoyable to play personal. 21 boxes, light version frets on mine. 3 position switch on the horn as a convenient low position but qqes source of problems after 35 years of loyal service ...
Note the weight of madame, at least 1 / 2 + a stato. Thus ca resonnance vacuum is much more expressive. The micro cache is large enough (the famous diamond), and are damaged on the copy in my possession.
Remains the vibrato which the design is quite dconcertante ... Use with moderation or even not at all!

SOUNDS

Some models seem quips a phase inverter to obtain an extremely serious and its reverse the sense of tonality (the way the Texas blues sound of a jazz box to see a bass) . Difficult to give a note to an honorable old lady. I chose 10 to attract the eye of those who would never believe in their way.

OVERALL OPINION

If you sell a right price ... let me know jsc@caramail.com
Finally, the Nde SERIES 0119271, manufactured in 71 I guess but I'm interested in additional info if you have a machine back in time.

I own an Aria 1802t in 1973, a normal run, screwed, 21 frets, with respect to the bridge and pickups I adapt a tune-o-matic and two humbeckers, I found that the diamonds were not a its aggressive enough.
So the level that suits me well, the old 70's.

UTILIZATION

A mache super-ultra-hyper-super-mega-giga-monstrueusemnt Pleasant access to treble is very simple. The guitar is light, it's like a strata, is very comfortable on it.

SOUNDS

This guitar is perfect for what I play old 70's rock, the sound is crystal clean, and sound distortion is "powerful".
At home I use a Marshall MG15CDR, and a Hughes and Kettner repetiton attax 80, I hope to have a Vox AD50 when I work. I use the aria with a vox wah and delay soundtank ibanez.

OVERALL OPINION

It gave me this guitar, hehe lucky eh? And I'm glad I did not like it at first because of the microphones and the bridge, I quickly settled prolbleme taking the pieces of an old guitar, I like his sound bcp disto.0 I find IT'S WONDERFUL.

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice
very versatile and suitable also for some of the jazzy rhythm
guitar a little heavy
the sound is good and especially versatile>> rock to cool jazz, which is rare for a solid body model of this type

SOUNDS

The switch provides a very direct its dry suitable for the country picking a little muffled

OVERALL OPINION

I used it in the distant past (1972-73) by copying a rock trio with Hendrix
The brother of a friend had lent me and left me since. I keep it as a relic of my high school years.
At the time it was the Strato's poor.
Although since the copies are excellent quality and apparent truer to the originals - I have a squier strato 80 - I do not know if the newer low cost models (1980 and s) or current are finally as good in terms of build quality, sound and materials.
